Growing up
I loved both Rock and Roll
And Country music
Then it was clear
To hear how the two could be
Easily distinguished
But just the other day
I heard a Heavy Metal
Guitar solo played
In one of the New
Country songs
And as much as I wanna stay
Positive
I just have to say
I think that's just plain wrong
CHORUS:
Tell me why, oh, why
Did Cla**ic Country music
Have to die?
Where do they get off
Mixin' Country stories and singers
With Hard Rock and Pop?
Am I alone
In that at times
It makes me want to cry?
Oh, tell me why, oh, why
Did Cla**ic Country music
Have to die?
Now, I do have my
Favorite Rock and Roll
Styled drummers
But when I hear one
Playing in a Country band
I think they should try another
I think all Country musicians
Should learn the formula
That the Cla**ic Country heroes used
It's really not that difficult
The way that
They mixed Bluegra** up
With good old Gospel and Blues
CHORUS
